CircleCI PyPI version

Dash Bio is a suite of bioinformatics components built to work with Dash.

Announcement: https://medium.com/@plotlygraphs/announcing-dash-bio-ed8835d5da0c

Demo: https://dash-gallery.plotly.host/Portal/?search=Bioinformatics

Documentation: https://dash.plotly.com/dash-bio

Components

The Dash Bio components each fall into one of three categories:

  • Custom chart types
  • Sequence analysis tools
  • 3D rendering tools

Custom chart types

  • Dash Circos
  • Dash Clustergram
  • Dash Manhattan Plot
  • Dash Needle Plot
  • Dash Volcano Plot

Sequence analysis tools

  • Dash Alignment Chart
  • Dash Onco Print
  • Dash Forna Container
  • Dash Sequence Viewer

Visualization tools

  • Dash Mol2D
  • Dash Mol3D
  • Dash Speck
  • Dash Ngl

Using Dash Bio

It's easy to add a fully interactive chromosomal, molecular or genomic visualization to your Dash app by simply including the Dash Bio component into your app layout as follows:

import urllib.request as urlreq
from dash import Dash, html
import dash_bio as dashbio

app = Dash(__name__)

data = urlreq.urlopen(
    'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/dash-bio-docs-files/master/alignment_viewer_p53.fasta'
).read().decode('utf-8')

app.layout = html.Div([
    dashbio.AlignmentChart(
        id='my-default-alignment-viewer',
        data=data
    )
])

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run_server(debug=True)

See the Dash Bio documentation for more components and examples.

Run Dash Bio in a JupyterLab environment

  1. Create a virtual environment:

    The following steps require a virtual environment tool to be installed on your computer: pip install virtualenv

    a. On macOS and Linux: python3 -m venv env

    b. On Windows, enter: py -m venv env

  2. Activate your new environment:

    a. On macOS and Linux, enter: source env/bin/activate

    b. On Windows, enter: .\env\Scripts\activate

  3. Install required libraries (make sure you have pip installed with pip help):

pip install dash dash-bio pandas numpy Jupyterlab
  1. To run Dash inside Jupyter lab:

    a. Install jupyter-dash: pip install jupyter-dash

    b. Enter jupyter lab build

    (Note: This step requires Node.js and NPM installed on yourcomputer. To check if Node and NPM are installed, enter node -v and npm -v in your terminal. For install instructions see nodejs.org.

  2. To display Plotly figures in JupyterLab:

pip install jupyterlab "ipywidgets>=7.5”
jupyter labextension install jupyterlab-plotly@4.14.3
  1. Start JupyterLab by typing: jupyter lab

    Important: JupyterLab must be run within the virtual environment that was previously activated.
